The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 38

The staff started madly scrolling through videos of hot people. Most of them had filters cranked up to the max, so Mo Keyu had to add another rule: they had to be 100% natural—at least at her level looks-wise. Talents were a bonus.

The internet made that pretty easy. As they scrolled, they actually found a few that fit the bill, but every time they sent a card, they'd just get blocked instantly.

Well, they were literally a studio that had just gotten a Baidu entry yesterday and only started recruiting today—no signed artists, nothing. Basically a nobody.

So Mo Keyu spent the whole day in the office glued to her phone, listening to the system gossip, and then dismissed her employees when it was time to clock out.

At 9 p.m., Han Suyi finally opened her video app after a long day.

Every day she washed piles of dishes until the restaurant closed. Watching videos was her only form of entertainment after work.

She was pretty, but in the lower rungs of society, being too pretty could be dangerous. Even working as a simple waitress, she still got harassed a lot.

Only when she filmed her videos did she bother to dress up a little and sing songs she liked.

Not many people watched, but there were still likes and comments. Today, she saw a DM from an entertainment company.

—Hello, I'm an employee of Baozi Entertainment. We watched your videos and feel your look really fits our company's style. If you're interested in signing with us, please contact us at: XXXX.

She opened her browser and searched the name "Baozi Entertainment." Only one result came up, and it was a wiki entry with a one-sentence description...

Seemed like a newly established company. Could easily be a scam, Han Suyi thought.

But she was tired of this life. She wanted to shine like the people on TV, to stop being laughed at and looked down on by the people around her.

She saved the number in the message. A moment later, she called it.

......

The next day, when Mo Keyu got to the office, a staff member told her two people had responded.

One was [SingingYiyi], and the other was [Golden Wolf Wu Xiaotian].

Mo Keyu clicked into the first profile. This girl definitely had the looks, and her voice sounded really special. She showed it to Li Pingwei, who—for once—didn't brush her off and actually commented, "Her physical condition's pretty solid, totally got the natural talent. But that voice screams untrained. If we sign her, she's gonna need coaching and a full rebrand."

"Oh~ no problem, as long as she's down to come," Mo Keyu said.

Then she opened the second profile. This guy was seriously hot—even though his background was just a field full of crops, his handsomeness still jumped off the screen.

But once she clicked on the video, his thick countryside accent totally killed the vibe...

His Mandarin was super broken, almost like fake Mandarin. If he didn't open his mouth, he looked like a cold, high-class heartthrob—tall, good figure, great face. He only had three videos, but his fans were insanely loyal and his popularity was clearly rising.

His face was practically on par with that spoiled young master from the Shen family, but his whole vibe was just... off.

Mo Keyu showed the video to Li Pingwei, and he immediately said, "Trash."

"I think he's got a unique style. He looks pretty down-to-earth too. If we market him right, he could actually get a big following," Mo Keyu said. She saw business potential.

Baozi Entertainment was still casting a wide net with almost no artists. Some people had even posted them online as a case of suspected internet fraud.

To be honest, Mo Keyu's workday wasn't all that busy. She even had time to go up to the eighteenth floor of Mo Group headquarters and nap in a massage chair.

That afternoon, after tagging along with her dad to close a business deal, she swung by her own little workshop, took a quick look, announced the end of the workday, and went home.

Before bed, she scrolled through some videos. Maybe it was just the algorithm, but she happened to come across a video of Golden Wolf Wu Xiaotian.

The guy was sitting on a pile of red bricks with an old brick house in the background. The dim lighting highlighted his sharp features as he spoke directly to the camera:

"Today I got invited by a company. I agreed to go sign with 'em. I'm gonna be a big star and live in a big house one day."

Mo Keyu wanted to comment something like "Wow, you've got ambition," but the comments were already full of mocking and sarcasm.

[LMAO bro, maybe fix your accent first.]
[Okay, you're good-looking, but your voice is painful to hear.]
[Country boy, watch out you don't get scammed.]

Even more comments were roasting the company that invited him.

"I signed with Baozi Entertainment," he continued. "They said they'd cover food and housing, starting salary of ten grand, and if things go well I might even get shares."

The comment section exploded instantly:

[Dude, aren't you scared you're getting scammed?]
[It's in Shanghai... you got money to get there?]
['Baozi Entertainment' sounds like some shady operation. Probably one of those scammy companies that trap people with sky-high breach fees.]
[Watch out they don't harvest your kidneys.]
[Oh god, even their Baidu entry has just one line, and you have to scroll for pages to even find that. What kind of company is that supposed to be?]

Mo Keyu: ...

A few days later, the two content creators finally made it in from their hometowns.

Once they saw the gorgeous CEO, they immediately felt more at ease.

Han Suyi had totally expected the big boss to be some greasy, overweight middle-aged man and was mentally prepared to bolt at the first sign of trouble.

She never thought it'd be a woman who didn't look much older than her—and so stunning too. One look and you could tell she was some pampered heiress from a wealthy family.

Wu Xiaotian didn't expect a city company to be so fancy either. A whole floor dedicated just to their entertainment business, and a bunch of employees running around tending to them.

"From today on, we're one big family—Baozi Entertainment is officially open!" Mo Keyu declared from the center of the stage.

The contracts were already signed. She was a pretty decent boss, honestly—considering how broke the artists were, the breach fees were kept low, and the contracts weren't some kind of shady lifetime trap either.
